“According to the latest reports WHO reports, 3 in 10 people worldwide, or 2.1 
billion, lack access to safe, readily available water at home, and 6 in 10, or 4.5 
billion, lack safely managed sanitation. One in three people don’t have a toilet, 
and 892 million people – mostly in rural areas – are forced to defecate in the 
open. Clean water and good sanitation prevents water-borne diseases like 
diarrhea, cholera and dysentery, all potentially fatal conditions in the developing 
world. 361,000 children die each year – that’s more than 1,000 child deaths each 
day – from diarrhoeal diseases due to dirty water”.
